This evening I put on the handlebar, brake handles and sorted out the brake cable housing lengths.

I live by "the rules" when it comes to positioning the bar and brake handles. Not only do I believe it looks the best - it also fits me and my use of them perfectly.



Classic 3TTT



Black Bike Ribbon a la Ambrosio is fitting the age of the bike and build.



A small dot of grease makes it easier to get the small cable guide thingy in its place.




Cutting the cable housing to the right length and taping them to the bar.

Getting into difficulties. I would like to have a saddle for this build that is only black and silver/chrome. I do not own such a saddle. These are my options:
Brooks Swift, Brooks Team Pro (both with chrome rails) and a Campionissimo. Alll of them wonderful - but they do add a new colour to the build - copper. I am not sure this is what I want. OR actually - I like these saddles a lot. Just not on this bike...
